LIFE IN EOGOTA.

iiow the Houses III That City Are Com
/ %~ structed and Furnished.
1 Its inland and isolated situation has
made 1Bogota as a city, one of the least
progressive Of the capitals Of South
America, and more than any other,
perhaps, it retains its old Spanish as
poets. The majority of its houses are
of one story, because of the prevalence
of earthquakes, but there are many of
two and three stories. Their exterior is
not unprepossessing, but with tile roofs
little architectural effect can be attempt
ed. The material is generally adobe,
or sun-dried brick, and the walls re-
ceive a thickness of from two to three
feet. Within-doors, at least the better
classes live as comfortably as in other
parts Of the world, and many Of the
private residences are luxuriantly APP
pointed. There is invariably an open
interior court, called patio, in the CEN
ter Of which is perhaps a fountain, sur
rounded by numerous and beautiful
flowers and plants which bloom per-
petually. Although they have to be
transported across the Cordilleras at
great cost upon the backs of peones,
pianos, generally Of German manufact-
ure. are common. Instead Of carpets,
which harbor feas-the greatest pests
Of the city-a peculiar mating known
as estera, is often employed. The walls
are usually papered, occasionally out
side as well as within. The roofs project
over the narrow sidewalk and furnish
q partial protection from the rain.
The principal streets are paved or mac:
adamized, and are built at right, angles
to each other. They are, however,
narrow, and in the center of each is
cano, or surface sewer, often indiffer-
emily supplied with water, which con-
veys the refuse of the city to the plain
below. In the construction of the houses
but little regard is had for hygienic
principles, and the sanitary regulations
Of the city are inadequate, or at least
indifferently, obeyed. The Easements
of the principal housesin Gale Real and
Gale Florian the business streets are
rented as stores, but in other parts of
the city they are occupied by the poorer
classes, who crowd into these dark and
close tenements, together with poultry,
cats and dogs, monkeys and parrots.
